In An Alternate Universe Where Rick Had Actually Planned Hoo From The Start:

in an alternate universe where Rick had actually planned Hoo from the start:

I really love the idea of jason and bianca being dual 'ghosts of the narrative' during Pjo. Like. They're both big three kids. They're both the siblings OF main characters. They're both thought to be dead. And I get that no one knowing about Jason is a big plot point in TLH, but I would've killed for a scene, just after Bianca's death, where Thalia tells Percy about her baby brother, the one she left behind, the one who was murdered (she thinks he's dead) . And the only other person who knows is Luke, so Thalia makes Percy promise not to tell anyone else, even Annabeth. Percy being Percy, he keeps this promise, but also gets slightly obsessed with Jason and his story, this little boy who was killed by the Queen of the Gods for no fault of his own. It really drives home the gods cruelty, and makes Luke's offer even more tempting. And then Nico runs away, the same way Thalia did when her brother died, and Percy is FUCKING OBSESSED, with these two ghosts, who represent the dangers if demigod life, especially for Big 3 kids. One of them died on a mission for the gods, the other was killed by one. They were both innocents. They were both spares. So when he makes the gods promise, he's hoping to put their ghosts to rest, so that nothing like this will ever happen again.

It also makes his and Jason's first meeting much, much funnier, because. He finds out that the dude who's been HAUNTING him for the past few years is actually alive and healthy. And Percy is like, personally offended because "I obsessed over your death, and not only are you NOT DEAD, you also don't seem to give many fucks about me. After all the time I spent thinking about you."

THIS!! Thank you!!

Watching the documentary, it's so much clearer why it was so important to Rick that the main cast be diverse. I think too many of us were caught up with the fact that the books we loved as kids were getting a faithful adaptation that we forgot that this is a kid's show. So many children are going to grow up with this show. This will be for them what Harry Potter was for us. Even though I loved the Harry Potter movies and wouldn't change anything about them, I'd be lying if I said that as a person of colour I didn't feel a little excluded. I remember being so excited when the goblet of fire came out and introduced us to characters like Padma and Parvati Patil. For the first time ever I felt like someone of my ethnicity could also belong at Hogwarts. I know that Disney's attempt at race swapping in the name of representation definitely has its issues but in this particular case I genuinely think that having a diverse cast was incredibly important and in touch with Rick's initial intentions behind writing the books. Representation in Children's media, especially in a show such as PJO is incredibly important. I know it's different from the books but imagine in this day and age watching a show about a camp where everyone is white. Even if it's not intentional, it's exclusionary. And besides, the actors are all incredibly talented and capture the essence of their characters so well. Isn't that what really matters anyway? So if there's anyone still complaining that the show isn't faithful to the books, I would urge you to dig a bit deeper. Cause even though the show may look different from how you imagined, its heart and essence is the same as the books.

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.

I'm crying ??????

The feminine urge to rewrite the heroes of Olympus series (specifically SON) and make it sadder (and more angsty)

Like Percy without Annabeth would go batshit insane right? Or should I say Perseus would go insane.

The whole Percy memory thing is kinda glanced over. He gets his memories back by MOA. The second he sees his Annie he’s okay. And then we’re done with it.

But what if it didn’t work like that? He loves Annabeth that bond hera wont break. But he doesn’t know everything about her. He knows thats his entire world. But he doesn’t know why.

Jason didn’t know about the legion. Or any of his time there. He still doesn’t have all his memories about that despite going home.

Why does Percy get that?

Imagine Him doing a move and leo being like “where’d you learn that?” And he just blanks, Luke’s name slipping from his brain.

Him back at camp, seeing someone (like clariesse or Katie. Not his best friend but they’ve definitely talked.) and them being happy he’s okay, and he just doesn’t know them. Them trying to remind him who they are. And he just doesn’t know.

Percy getting his Achilles curse memories back, and he doesn’t remember that its gone. Going headfirst into battle, unaware of the potential for injuries.

Percy hearing sally make a mean joke about gabe and he just doesn’t know who he is. He knows he hates alcohol. But not why.

Percy not remembering everything.

He knows what hurts but not why it does.

Yeah heroes of Olympus but sad
